General Willoughby urges scorched earth policy for Asia
Maj. Gen. Charles A. Willoughby, a former intelligence chief on MacArthur’s staff, argues in Freeman magazine for a belt of scorched earth across Asia to offset Asia’s manpower. He says a single air mission could isolate Soviet Siberia, paralyze ports from Vladivostok to Shanghai, and that Western air and sea superiority can deliver atomic weapons without ground forces. He warns the Soviet Union would face vulnerable supply lines in the Far East and predicts Indonesia may follow Indonesia’s Red timetable of conquest.
